The post lists the SCCM support end dates and life cycle information for all the released current branch versions. This will help you determine when your Configuration Manager will reach its end of life and outline the next steps to take.
Support end dates are crucial in determining if Microsoft still supports a specific SCCM version. If your Configuration Manager version is no longer supported, upgrading to the latest current branch version is necessary to continue receiving updates and fixes.
It is important to remember that starting with version 2609, Microsoft Configuration Manager will transition to an annual release cadence. Read more details about the new release cadence for Configuration Manager.

Is SCCM still supported?
Yes, SCCM is still supported. It is continuously updated by Microsoft and remains the gold standard for managing on-premises devices and servers. It was rebranded as Microsoft Configuration Manager (formerly Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager) and follows a Modern Lifecycle Policy. Microsoft strongly encourages pairing it with Microsoft Intune using co-management.
What happens when the SCCM version expires?
When an SCCM current branch version reaches its EOL, it won’t receive any security updates or technical support for the version of the product. For example, support for Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM) version 2409 will go end of life on June 6, 2026. If you are still running version 2309, you should upgrade to the most recent version.
Servicing Phases
There are two distinct servicing phases that depend on the availability of the latest current branch version:
- Security and Critical Updates servicing phase (Mainstream Support): With the latest current branch versions of Configuration Manager, you’ll receive both Security and Critical Updates. Typically, every current branch version of Configuration Manager will receive 4 months of security and critical updates.
- Security Updates (Only) Servicing Phase (Extended Support): After the release of a new SCCM current branch version, Microsoft only supports security updates to older versions for the remainder of that version’s support lifecycle.
Note: The terms “SCCM mainstream support” and “SCCM extended support” are not used by Microsoft anymore. They have now been replaced by the servicing phases for security and critical updates and security updates only for current branch versions.
